Yes, for most of my services and programs I offer payment plans. While a one-time investment will always be the most cost-efficient option, many need to spread their investment in their support over a period of months, and I'm happy to find a way to do that. For one-to-one services, we can discuss payment options during a consultation. For small group workshops, I will publish both one-time and multi-payment options.

For some of us, a beloved animal represents a dear relationship, providing unconditional love and a joyful presence in our daily lives. Many who have not had that kind of relationship with an animal, don't understand the depth of loss when a pet dies, so those grieving the loss of a furred, feathered, or other non-human friend can feel isolated. I've worked with clients—and I've worked through my own companion animal losses—bringing compassion to the process. Early in my professional life, I worked with the #1 veterinary school in the country, including it's one-of-a-kind (at the time) Pet Loss Support Hotline that taught aspiring veterinarians how to work with human grief while helping countless pet grievers find solace. It was a mind-opening experience. How does my coaching and mentoring approach differ when it comes to navigating pet loss? It doesn't differ at all. Grief and the process of rebuilding life after loss is about the depth and nature of the relationship and the impact of that relationship in one's life.

There are three core areas where I have deep experience and have helped clients reach new levels of well-being and meaning: Life After the Death of a Beloved Other: People most often come to me when they are ready to live again after the death of someone they love, most often a spouse or partner, mother or father, adult child, beloved animal companion, or a series of deaths. Post-Traumatic Growth: Additionally, I work with clients whose grief is tied to traumatic experiences, either recent or recently surfaced from the past, that are preventing them from living fully. I only do so where a mentoring & coaching approach is appropriate, often supporting or following other psychotherapeutic care. Creative Grief Transformation: Being a creative, my work sometimes attracts other creatives. We work through their challenges with grief related to loss or trauma, integrating creative approaches into the coaching & mentoring process, which may include work on writing or otherwise telling their loss story.

Therapy & Psychotherapy typically focus on helping people understand, address, and cope with disabling life challenges and mental health conditions, often filtering present or chronic struggles through the lens of past or childhood experiences, then offering therapeutic or treatment-oriented approaches. Mentoring & Coaching typically focus on helping people move forward in their lives by envisioning their future, setting intentions and goals for the person they want to become, addressing mindsets & beliefs, and providing strategies, structure, support, and accountability for overcoming current life challenges and succeeding with personal & professional growth.

I support and serve people from all walks of life, cultural backgrounds, and areas the world ... thanks to the virtual reach of the Internet. That said, those most likely to resonate with my approaches and mentoring style, and frankly, my personality, tend to be women at mid-life and beyond. My clients, (regardless of gender) typically reflect one or more of these qualities: Have an affinity for the natural world, outdoor activities, or animals in their lives, Sense a spiritual connection to something larger than themselves, Appreciate the arts, creativity, and cultural curiosity, Bring an open mind for trying new ways to support themselves. My main criteria for mutually choosing to work together is that the individual is ready to transcend their grief and move toward a vibrant meaningful life, which includes a commitment to taking at least tiny, consistent steps toward their own healing and well-being. "Talk therapy" helps process the wild range of emotions, thoughts, and physical feelings that come with grief, while "action-oriented" coaching moves you from hopes and possibilities to a renewed and resilient life.
